"Seraph..."
“I actually lost?!”
The violent aura slowly dissipated from S. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's body, and the Seraph, who had been moving swiftly, stopped in place at this moment and did not move anymore.
Abel, who was standing in front of the treasury door, saw this scene and his face suddenly changed. He had never expected such a situation to happen.
Compared to Luffy who was struggling to hold on, S. Tsugumigoku Yoriichi was undoubtedly more advantageous in the battle situation, but in the end, Luffy held on to the end. After all, the physical limit of the Seraph could not be compared with that of an outstanding human like Luffy.
Abel hadn't expected that the young man could hold on for such a long time under the fierce attack of Seraphim. As the Seraphim stopped moving, Luffy's injuries healed quickly. In just a few breaths, there was no sign of injury.
If Abel had not been able to clearly sense that Luffy's breath had weakened a lot, he would not have believed that Luffy's current condition was that of someone who had just experienced a fierce battle.
The battle had progressed to this point, and as the New Navy, they had actually already been defeated.
The two Seraphim had lost their combat effectiveness, and Abel himself was also seriously injured. There was no way for him to recover his combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
However, Luffy's fighting ability didn't seem to have changed much. As one side gained strength while the other lost, it became very difficult for him to stop the enemy's offensive.
"Win...win?!"
Luffy's companions burst into cheers when they saw the Seraph had stopped moving, but Luffy himself seemed unaware of it. It was not until he heard the voices of his companions that he was stunned and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had been struggling hard and had never expected to win in this way. Even though he won the battle, Luffy did not feel too much joy in his heart.
The battle was suppressed throughout, and even if they won under such circumstances, it was just a fluke.
but
Although he won by chance, when Luffy confirmed that the Seraph had completely stopped its actions, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the treasure house.
Now, all the obstacles in front of me have been cleared away, and the main text of history is within my reach!
When Luffy's gaze swept towards the treasure house, Abel also noticed Luffy's gaze.
Although his injuries could not be healed in such a short time, as a new navy officer, he would never allow pirates to do whatever they wanted in such a place.
Although the text of the road sign history is not a treasure to the new navy, he will not allow pirates to steal it.
However, although Abel had this idea in his mind, he no longer had the ability to stop the Straw Hat Pirates at this time.
In fact, it was Abel who was blocking the door with a long sword, and the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, were slowly approaching the treasure house.
"call--"
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, he was exhausted. He tried his best to come to Abel and said solemnly:
“Get out of the way!”
If possible, Luffy didn't want to continue fighting. His original intention of climbing onto the top of the cake was not to start a war with the New Navy. Moreover, this long battle made Luffy feel deeply tired. If the other party could take the initiative to retreat, he could save some energy.
However, Luffy's response was Abel's slash.
Luffy's punch had a great impact on Abel. At this time, the momentum of Abel's slash was much smaller, and the power was greatly reduced. It posed no threat to Luffy in the Nika state.
Seeing that Abel had no intention of backing down, Luffy didn't waste any time and ignored the slashing blow that Abel swung at him. Instead, he threw the white flame spear in his hand towards Abel. The spear flew out and instantly dispersed the incoming slashing blow, and then continued to shoot straight towards Abel's chest.
“!”
Abel, whose movements were restricted, had no way to dodge Luffy's attack effectively. Moreover, Luffy's flaming spear came very fast, and the attack was much more powerful than the slash he released. It pierced Abel's chest in just a blink of an eye.
The terrifying force sent Abel flying backwards. In an instant, Abel disappeared in front of the treasury door and was blasted into the treasury.
As Abel was knocked away by Luffy, all the enemies blocking the Straw Hat Pirates lost their combat capability.
Luffy looked around, and finally showed some excitement on his face. He said to his companions beside him:
"Let's go!"
"Hurry up and record the main text of the roadside history. We have to leave here as soon as possible."
"The new navy's reinforcements should be on the way. If we don't hurry up, we'll be blocked here."
"I'm not in good shape. If another strong person comes, I'm afraid I won't be their match."
Although he defeated two Seraphim and the admiral candidate Abel one after another, Luffy was very clear about his physical condition. Several consecutive battles had consumed him greatly. The reason why he was still able to stay awake at this time was because he and his companions were still in a dangerous situation.
Luffy's strong willpower kept him from fainting.
The thrown white spear is Luffy's last means of attack.
When Luffy said this, he also came out of the Nika state. The white flames surrounding his body all converged, and the domineering aura around him disappeared without a trace.
Luffy was about to step towards the treasure house, but his feet went weak and he stumbled and fell to his knees.
Coby and the others beside him didn't notice it for a moment until Luffy fell to the ground. Then they realized what was happening and surrounded Luffy, helping him up.
"Hey, Luffy, are you okay?!"
"Luffy, what's wrong with you?!"
Coby and Brook's tone was full of worry. The other companions lost consciousness under the terrifying domineering pressure of S. Tsugakuin Yoriichi and have not woken up yet. Besides the three of them, the only one who remained awake was Carrot. If Luffy also fainted in such a place, they would not know what to do next.
Luffy is their true spiritual pillar. Even if Luffy has lost all his fighting power at this moment, as long as he can stay awake, the backbone of the Straw Hat Pirates will still be there.
If Luffy also fell into a coma, it would be a huge blow to the morale of the Straw Hat Pirates as a whole.
In the heart of the new navy, once the team loses morale, it would be a fantasy to leave.
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
Luffy was helped up by his companions. He waved his hand gently and forced a smile. Carrot was too busy to take care of his unconscious companions at this moment. He quickly ran to Luffy's side and looked at him with concern.
On this ship, Carrot has the deepest feelings for Luffy. The reason why she chose to board the ship and join the Straw Hat Pirates was simply because she was attracted by Luffy's personal charm.
Compared with Luffy, the priority of other partners is undoubtedly lower for Carrot.
"Hey, Luffy, are you okay?"
Carrot came close to Luffy and gently bit Luffy's ear while talking. The intimate look on her face made Coby and Brook stunned.
On the contrary, Luffy had long been accustomed to Carrot's way of expressing love and concern. He let Carrot bite his ear and gently patted Carrot's shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Come on, let's go in."
Luffy's words reminded Carrot that she still had important things to do. When she heard Luffy say that everything was fine, she did not doubt him and felt relieved.
At this time, Coby also weighed the bag on his back, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The bag on his back is actually Usopp's backpack. Usually, Usopp would put some strange bullets or small props in the bag.
However, in order to be able to copy the historical text of the signpost, the things in Usopp's backpack naturally changed.
Usopp had not yet regained consciousness, so the task of rubbing was naturally handed over to other people.
Luffy is not the type of person who would do this kind of thing, not because he is the captain, but because of Luffy's personality. He simply cannot do such delicate work as rubbing. As for Brook, it would be better for him to be responsible for vigilance in this situation.
"Gallot, you stay here and guard them. We'll be out soon."
Luffy, who was about to enter the treasury, suddenly remembered something and asked Carrot to stay and look after the other companions.
Gallot also nodded obediently. Just as they were about to enter the treasury, they did not notice that a huge figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
The figure appeared for just a moment and then disappeared without a trace, but at the same time, the figure had appeared behind Luffy and others.
It was not until now that the shadow enveloped Luffy and the others that they noticed it. Their faces suddenly changed and they all turned around to look behind them.
"Who is it?!" Even though he had consumed a lot of physical energy, Luffy was the first one to discover the enemy.
Luffy let out a loud shout and turned around, then swung his fist.
Luffy's normal attacks were traceable. The huge figure simply raised his hand and easily blocked Luffy's attack.
There was a ball of flesh in the palm of the man's hand. When Luffy suddenly swung his fist to attack, he felt a terrifying force on his fist, and his fist was directly bounced away by the opponent.
As Luffy roared, Coby and Brook noticed the appearance of the enemy one after another, and without thinking, they surrounded and killed the newcomers. At the same time, Carrot, who also noticed the appearance of the enemy, jumped up and kicked directly at the newcomers.
The three of them didn't need to communicate too much and directly surrounded the enemy.
"Stop, I don't mean to fight you."
"Stop it, Joyboy."
The man who appeared in the corridor at this time was Bartholomew Kuma. He had actually arrived at the scene when Luffy and Seraph were fighting, but he had been watching the battle and had no intention of intervening.
Xiong was actually very conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, as a member of the New Navy, it was his duty and mission to stop the pirates. What's more, the leader of the New Navy, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, had a deep affection for his family. From this perspective, there was nothing wrong with being loyal to the New Navy.
but
Luffy's identity is really too special.
If he was just Long's son, Xiong would not show any favoritism at all and would capture him here without any hesitation.
But the Luffy in front of us is not just Dragon's son, he is Joy Boy.
He is Joyboy, the protagonist of the legend that the bear has heard since childhood. He is a liberation fighter and the savior who can truly liberate the Bakhaniya tribe!
When he first met Luffy, Kuma didn't actually have any other feelings, but as Luffy entered the Nika form and defeated two powerful Seraphim and Abel one after another, Kuma no longer had any doubts about Luffy's identity as the "savior".
The education that Kuma received since childhood was completely different from Abel's. Although they were both ancient races, Abel had never had any unrealistic expectations of the so-called "God" along the way. The fact that Luffy was Joy Boy not only did not give rise to Abel's idea of "loyalty", but instead made Abel feel extremely angry.
Abel extremely hates this "destined" fate. Abel, who has followed Kaido and Yoriichi Tsugakuni successively, does not believe in fate but only believes in his own hands.
But Xiong was different. His childhood was extremely miserable, and what supported him throughout his childhood was the story about the liberation fighters told to him by his father and mother.
Under the influence of his parents, Kuma believed in the legend of Joy Boy. Although this belief has faded a little as he grew older, when Luffy's Nika form was truly revealed to Kuma, the things he firmly believed in his heart as a child resurfaced.
Xiong had no doubt that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was the person who had the ability to change the world. After all, over the years, the world had undergone earth-shaking changes because of the appearance of Tsugakuni Yoriichi. Today, the new world where shipping safety has been greatly improved is due to the appearance of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and the efforts made by the new navy.
But even so, Xiong has no doubt that the person who can save the world is the liberation fighter Joy Boy.
Now that Joyboy has appeared, although it is not easy for Xiong to help him directly, he can still avoid killing Joyboy.
Kuma's words did not gain the trust of Luffy and the others, and their offensive against him did not weaken.
But Kuma was not annoyed. He just patted his trouser legs lightly, and his figure disappeared in front of Coby and others, and appeared behind Luffy.
"I already told you, I'm not here to fight, stop it, Joyboy."
"Or Monkey D. Luffy."
The bear patted Luffy lightly, and a transparent bear paw-shaped ball of light shot out from Luffy's body. As the ball of light shot out from Luffy's body, Luffy felt that his original fatigue, tiredness, and hunger were swept away at this moment.
His mind also became extremely clear, and the pain in his bones and muscles due to excessive consumption disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Feeling that the bear was indeed not releasing any hostility, Luffy turned around and his expression eased slightly.
